I love that!
Edited to add Champ's name. I didn't know he was a rescue too!
Edited again to correct my other edit. Champ is not a rescue. In any event, both dogs will be awesome to have in the White House...America's house! WooHoo!

(9,444 posts)I just heard them on TV say Major would be the first. Probably because Major was adopted rather recently and we've seen the photo of when that took place.

(9,444 posts)Thank you! Champ's name is first because he's older.

(3,257 posts)I understand if people cant have pets because they cant afford it, or work all day, or live in a small space. But, nothing kept them from a pet other than they are cold, heartless, people. Poor Barron. He has never had the joy of a dog, cat, or even a gerbil. Its so wrong on so many levels.

(82,383 posts)I recall it was expected or demanded that it be a rescue dog. Not me but I remember it on DU Im glad the Obamas could enjoy their dogs without a lot of criticism about not being rescues.
Just having dogs and real humans in the White House will be wonderful.

StarryNite
(9,444 posts)It seems some people were upset because the Obamas didn't pick rescues. But they had to have dogs that wouldn't be a problem for their girls and their dog allergies. At least that's how I remember it.

(82,383 posts)The girls were promised a puppy I recall! It was cute. Then Michelle really bonded with the dog!
Teddy Kennedy give Obama their dog?

(107 posts)Champ is not a rescue, he came from a breeder recommended to the Bidens by a DE state trooper. I have a dear friend with a young shepherd from the same breeder and the dog is gorgeous, well-tempered, and totally devoted to her dog-mom.
